Great news. My baby was also 7.13lb and spitting image of daddy :-)
Induction is awful and best option at that time is epidural, which I also opted for and I'm so glad I did. Your lucky tho it was natural birth and not c section.
Welcome to motherhood. Hope and pray u enjoy every day of it.

My son is 5weeks today. Time is flying now but when I was pregnant it felt like the slowest days of my life!!

Hi is there anyone on here I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and just been for 29 wk appt had bloods etc. they scanned me and said all looks well baby is approximately 3.8lb which they said was good for my height and frame. Exciting last bit now x can't wait

Hi jol, glad all is well I am 31 weeks now and growing! Your baby is growing well too! I am not sure what size my baby is measuring but they have said head is making its way down now! How have you been keeping? You been getting everything ready? We are trying nursery painted and furniture all in place! xxx

They told me baby is lying across, which is still ok at this stage! I had a emcs with my LB so am currently trying to decide what to do weather to have another section or have a normal delivery! Is a bit daunting to be honest and made a little harder with the fact I'm completely indecisive at the best of time haha! We aren't doing a nursery this time as just keeping baby with us and then hoping to get an extension done soon after its born, but I remember doing all that last time is so exciting sitting in your wee nursery imagining your wee bundle x have nearly everything from last time just got a new pram this time and new bottles although going to try to breastfeed this time so might not even need them! Ru planning on bottle or breast?

Evening JoL, planning breastfeeding but just going to wait and see! I am finishing work at 36 weeks what about you? Yeh it's lovely picking everything but hoping to write a list this week and see what we still need to buy.what Pram did you go for this time I have picked an emmajunga one! I am hopeless at making descions I would rather get someone to make it for me lol! xxx

I just went for a to and fro cosatto buggy it can be forward and rear facing and lays flat, so just decided on that this time. Previously had a silvercross which was fab but didn't get the use out of it! I'm planning on working right up so I can take longer after the baby but currently off on sick leave so don't know how that will pan out. I didn't consider breast feeding last time as my mum had a difficult time when she had tried! But it turned out I had a lot of milk, it took 6-8 weeks to dry out. So I think i will try this time and if it work it works if not I'm not going to beat myself up about it! Do you know what you are having? We are waiting til birth! We are also having a hard time deciding on a ne this time! My LB is called after my maiden name so we had that picks quote early on and the girls name I liked with him I'm not as fussed on now! It's so difficult lol

I am 36 weeks plus 2 days and been to see consultant today. They are happy with baby growth etc but I have been given a date to be induced at 39+4 as they have decided that IVF births should be more controlled rather than leaving to nature. Has anyone else been told this? My Dh and are happy with the consultants decision rather be safe. Better get my bag packed.

I was induced at 39 plus 3 as the consultant thought the baby was going to be big (she was 9lbs 4oz!) as well as the fact that we had ivf. My daughter was born healthy and well although I ended up needing a section in the end!

Hope everything goes well for you, I'm sure you can't wait to meet your baby-not long to go xx

Hi hello, it's strange what different hospitals say! I had some brown staining over wkend. I rang hospital as I had read somewhere there is a slight increase in early labour for IVF, I told them that I was IVF and did this make a difference! She told me that at this later stage 34 almost 35 wks there is no difference and they just treat all the same at this point!

Great you have a date hello, I had a section with my LB so have been offered that or VbAc and if I take Section il prob deliver at 39wks to. It's so exciting I'm glad I'm not the only lazy bones I haven't done my bag either

How are you all? I am 39+1 today and getting induced Thursday or Friday! Had midwife yesterday and she done a Sweap and I am roughly 2cms and cervix soft so says induction should be easier and quicker if needed! She did say she could feel my waters too! I have developed a horrible rash on lower legs and getting no relief or sleep at the moment can't stop scratching xxx

Wow Thursday/Friday happy days! Great that you are 2cms already! With my first little boy I went for sweep on due date the doctor couldn't even reach my cervix but Must have done something as I went on my own 6 days later. I'm 38 wks today, but booked for a csection 2 wks tomorrow so il be 40+1, they could have done planned section earlier but I thought I'd at least give it until 40 wks to see of baby wanted to move on its own.

Yes all being well for us, exciting times ahead. Yes my little boy can not wait he's on the count down on r calendar n keeps telling my bump not long now! It's so sweet I just hope he's ok when baby comes with having to share my and DH as he is the centre of our universe

Hi newbie I'm delighted to hear everything is going well for you xx I'm 35+3 today lol all good here as well although def starting to feel more uncomfortable!! Baby's head is in the right position and I'm getting plenty of movement. Can't believe we're near full term I think it went quicker than I thought it would xx

Hi ladies,
Great to hear you are doing well! I'm 36 +1 today, just finished up work on Sat. Loving the short naps, can't believe how time is flying by, lets hope it continues to……… What are your due dates? I'm 29th August. Have you finished work?

Hi Newbie 15, i'm sure we cycled together in Nov/Dec 15!!
I have a baby boy born on 27th August 16. It still feels like a dream some days that he is actually here! What date was your baby girl born?
I have been thinking already, just this week about my one frozen embryo?
Would love to hear how you are getting on!

Hey bumble so good to hear from you congrats on your baby boy, she was born in 31aug doing great I didn't think it was possible to love another person as much how are you both?? I was just at docs this week about referring me back to the royal for fet would love a brother or sister for my wee girl are you considering going again soon?? Xx

Hi girls, I cycled slightly before you and got our little girl in June last year. I am glad others are thinking of cycling again coz we are too but need to be three months of breastfeeding before I can phone clinic again so will phone in April to get ball rolling again. I think it will be easier since we have s little one and less pressure. Hope you don't mind me adding a comment! Better go little one on the move xxxx

Aw it's great to hear from you hello you should consider contacting them as it can take a month are so before you get appt with hosp again are you with rfc I had my gp send referral in this week so will see how it goes from there, yeah I'm hoping it's easier this time round as we have are little bundles to keep us occupied

No I am in Scotland so Aberdeen clinic. When I spoke to them they wouldn't do anything until 3 months completely finished might push my luck and do it a couple of weeks earlier but my AF just getting back to a cycle now! I don't need to phone and see go just contact clinic xxx

So lovely to hear from you both. . . . . . . . a massive congratulations on your wonderful journey also.
i didn't know a gp referal was needed for the Royal. I am breatfeeding, my cycle hasn't shown up which is great, but obviously i'll have to wait until it returns.
Newbie go for it asap is my goal. Do you mind me asking how my frosties you have? Also do you know if the FET is covered by NHS? I'm pretty sure it is.

I stopped feeding my little one at 7 months she was becoming so fussy over feeding and I needed to decide to carry on expressing to give her or start weaning she was down to 3/4 feeds a day at that point. I felt so uncomfortable at times and decided to stop. How long you hoping to feed for? I don't know about you guys but our FET is covered.

Initially 6months was my plan for b.feeding, but as this is near I'm not comfortable with just stopping i'll see how i go. We are going on holiday in 2 weeks & want to feed for that as it will be so handy…… after that im not sure, im hoping he will lead the way for me………..
We have ONE frosty from memory possibly grade A. From reading up FET doesn't require injections, the treatment length seems to be less which is promising.
That is fantastic having 8 frosties, have you made the 1st step towards treatment?

Great grade of Frosties! I will be able to contact end of April since that will be three months after finishing feeding. For me feeding was so much easier after the first 6 weeks then I didn't want to give up at 6months but daughter decided at 7 months. My little one is 8 months today xxx

Yeah I phoned the royal and they said I would need go referral so that's been done I'm just waiting to hear back from them not so sure how long it will take also was told by receptionist and on here that we are entitled to one fet on NHS thank god, we have two embryos frozen im not sure what grade don't think we were ever told which grade are maybe just my mummy brain lol enjoy your holiday bumble xx

Hey not sure if anyone is still on this thread but wondering if anyone can help have appt for fet next week and wondering if anyone knows will we be placed on a list at this appt, do they do any checks to see if all is still the same i.e. Semen analysis etc it's just i don't want to get ahead of myself, also for are previous treatment we had dr abajye (def spelt wrong lol) but I loved him and this time we have dr McManus anyone know what she is like had her once for scan and thought she was very cold which is making me so nervous ☹️

Hi Newbie,
Brilliant news!! Can you fill me in on a bit more info on waiting times etc how long from you appointment to actually getting FET?
Just realising your last post was a few weeks ago, so you may have already started. If so i hope all is going really well for you. I've got referral for FET & just received letter to book appointment yesterday. I'm now thinking is it too soon…….. Suppose its just nerves. . . . . . . We cycled together in Nov/Dec 15
My little boy is 8 1/2 months.
Would love to hear about your journey so far!

I haven't phoned clinic about FET I just don't know what to do as I am going back to work on 4th oh July! Are you girls going back to work? Living this great weather and our little one is wsoking so enjoying being outside xxx

Hey bumble and hello I had appointment on 24th April and got a letter a couple of days later to say I had got to top of list but I have had to put it on hold for the min as I'm having some tests done at the min and my gp doesn't want these to overlap but I will hopefully be done with these in next few months and get started with fet praying that we are so lucky again my little girl is 8 1/2 months too and completely amazing :-), I know what you mean about weather etc I'm jst back to work and missing my little girl so much what age is your little one hello??

Sorry you have had to put treatment on hold but hopefully not for to look nh. My little girl is just coming up for 11 months. I am going to wait we have decided until October time I am currently doing my masters and has a year break so will rejoin in August and finish in October so feel we best wait I don't want to but it's prob for the best. I have phoned clinic and going to have our appointment then we just need to phone the month before since it's s frozen cycle.
